Jackson's : Black Hog Bristle Brush : Round : No.8

These Black Bristle Hog Brushes Are Truly Beautiful. Similar In Look To The Black Sable But With Slightly Stiffer Hair And Considerably Less Expensive. These Natural Hair Brushes Have The Softness, Touch, Spring And Control Of A Top Quality Brush. Interlocked Hair, Silver-coloured Ferrule And Matt Black Handle. 'Jackson’s Black Hogs Are Different - Not Rudimentary But Sophisticated In So Many Ways - A Class Act. When You Pick Up A Brush The First Thing You Notice Is The Balance. It Sits Perfectly In The Hand And The Fulcrum, Or Balance Point, Is A Third Of The Way Up The Handle...Black Hogs Work Well With Oil And Acrylic Paint. Because Of Their Springiness And Ability To Leave Marks But Are Slightly Malleable, They Suit Both Media For Slightly Different Reasons. I Am A Great Believer In Trying Out A Brush Type To See If It Suits My Process And I Have Used Jackson's Black Hogs Across Oil And Acrylic Work With Great Success.' - Max Hale, Artist, Painter & Tutor, Painters Online.
